Verse 89 says, "For ever O [[Lord]], thy [[Word]] is settled in
The answer to several questions about the [[Bible]] are given in this Psalm. Some of those questions are as follows: (1) What is the [[Bible]]? It is water for cleansing (verse 9); it is wealth and treasure (verses 14, 72, 122, 162); it is a companion and friend (verse 24); it is a lamp (verses 105 and 130).
(2) What does the [[Bible]] do? It blesses (verses 1 and 2); it gives life (verses 25, 37, 40, 50, 88, 93); it gives strength (verse 28); it gives liberty (verse 45); it imparts wisdom (verse 66); it creates friends (verse 63); it gives comfort (verses 50, 76, 82, 92); and it gives direction (verse 133).
(3) What must we do with the [[Bible]]? We must [[love]] it (verses 97 and 159); we must prize it (verses 72 and 128); we must study it (verses 7, 12, 18, 26, 27); we must memorize it (verse 11); we must meditate upon it (verses 97, 99, 148); we must trust it (verse 42); we must obey it (verses 1-8); and we must declare it (verses 13 and 26).
This Psalm has been very neglected because of its length, but it exalts the [[Word]] of [[God]] as few other chapters in the [[Bible]].
